Couleur Café (Audio) Lyrics in English Serge Gainsbourg

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Couleur Café (Audio) by Serge Gainsbourg from French to English.
J'aime ta couleur café
I love your coffee color
Tes cheveux café
Your coffee-colored hair
Ta gorge café
Your coffee-colored throat
J'aime quand pour moi tu danses
I love when you dance for me
Alors j'entends murmurer
Then I hear whispering
Tous tes bracelets
All your bangles
Jolis bracelets
Pretty bangles
À tes pieds ils se balancent
At your feet they sway
Couleur café
Coffee color
Que j'aime ta couleur café
How I love your coffee color
C'est quand même fou l'effet
Still, it's crazy, the effect
L'effet que ça fait
The effect it has
De te voir rouler
To see you roll
Ainsi des yeux et des hanches
Like that, your eyes and your hips
Si tu fais comme le café
If you act like coffee
Rien qu'à m'énerver
Just by winding me up
Rien qu'à m'exciter
Just by turning me on
Ce soir la nuit sera blanche
Tonight the night'll be sleepless
Couleur café
Coffee color
Que j'aime ta couleur café
How I love your coffee color
L'amour sans philosopher
Love without philosophizing
C'est comme le café
Is like coffee
Très vite passé
Gone really fast
Mais que veux tu que j'y fasse
But what d'you want me to do
On en a marre de café
We're sick of coffee
Et c'est terminé
And it's over
Pour tout oublier
To forget everything
On attend que ça se tasse
We wait for it to settle
Couleur café
Coffee color
Que j'aime ta couleur café
How I love your coffee color
Couleur café
Coffee color
Que j'aime ta couleur café
How I love your coffee color
